The softest jabs, maybe. no he did not, even once, but unfortunately he has now unleashed his Dark Leibowitz persona, and nothing will stand between him and a trump landslide in 2024 it’s true what they say, die a hero or live long enough to become the villain

I have nothing against Noah, but he had too flat of a delivery. Stewart, and to some extent, Oliver can display a wide range of emotions to accentuate their jokes and points. Noah didn't show their range of delivery.

I didn't really care about the Tucker Carlson bit or the lawyer podcasters this week. Jon is good at mugging into the camera until the audience laughs.

It was just less noticable because american politics wasn't a pretend battle of good and evil each and every election time. And people didnt scream on the internet and have it reported on news as "people say". It was a time of disenfranchisement for shit_poop999, its only been recently we caught up.

Vegetable posted:Did Jon Stewart ever attack Dems back in the day? I kinda don’t recall that at all. The softest jabs, maybe. "Biden is loving old" is a pretty soft jab though! In fact, you might even say it is not a jab at all, but a simple unvarnished observation that the man is older than any previous president. Junk posted:i remember he skewered obama pretty regularly yeah but pretty ineffectively, because obama was smart enough to put a few months between promising to do something like stop bombing weddings and the order to increase drone strikes by 50%. obama was smart enough to play stewart. TDS did more making fun of Dems during the Clinton-Bernie kerfluffle because that was an easy comedy target. Klyith fucked around with this message at 21:51 on Feb 21, 2024 |

rotinaj posted:On the other hand, the self-pitying “all I did was ask questions, how dare you demand I only speak the Accepted Truth” routine he did on Monday was fuckin’ pathetic and he is being purposely obtuse about what people were saying in complaint about his first ep back routine. it is a routine. he's always done that. You could replace all his words with cereal packet ingredients and its still him. This is as silly as asking john oliver to go score some three pointers. I get its a relic and old comedy seems new and poo poo, but it is not. It is us what are poo poo and new. And if you think about it, wasn't there a little new poo poo in you all along?

Haptical Sales Slut posted:Any organization that can’t take legitimate criticisms deserves to be further ridiculed. Honestly people who try to paint is as "Jon Stewart said 'both sides are the same'" are loving idiots because that's not at all what he said. His point -- which was crystal clear if you're not drinking the loving rage koolaid -- was "we should be able to do better than two senile old men as choices; but that's what we've got -- but loving hell Trump is a horrible person". This loving "toe the line and never say anything bad about our side's candidate" poo poo is toxic. It's toxic when the right does it and we're more than happy to point that out; but it's also sure as gently caress toxic when the left does it too.

To add to that he also had a message of "we got here by good people not being engaged enough in politics" to specifically make sure he didn't make Dem votors apathetic. He's got all his bases covered (to trick us into believing he isn't trying to get Trump reelected).
